cano is a friggin' stud, i was so sad when he started the year as poorly as he did... he was down to ~.240 range and even lower, so I'm so happy to see him just mashing the ball right now... sweetest swing ever

Cano has been on fire ever since I removed him and my "2007 MVP Sleeper" as my avater. Jets won 4 in a row after I took down my Jon Vilma avatar. And well every Knicks avatar has produced suckage. I think it may be time for a Josh Beckett avatar.

Good link. I like how they describe him as, "21-year-old flamer Philip Hughes." lol

"The "not so good." While at first it looks like he firms up the front side pretty well, I slowed it down and saw that it seems like he opens up a little too early. I think he pulls his front shoulder out of the way, which leads to.....Let me explain, as soon as I saw that, I said "shoulder injury" in my head. I knew nothing about Hughes injury troubles, but after I saw that, I Googled "Phil Hughes shoulder injury," and well there ya go. I think I would worry about his durability. Unless he gets that front shoulder under control, I think shoulder injuries will haunt him throughout his career."

Edit: OK, I googled "Phil Hughes shoulder injury" like he said and the only hit I got was what he wrote. I don't get it.

Sounds like that guy might be in the minority. From the same link:

Now I’m not a professional scout but those in the know are seriously impressed with Philip's mechanics and arm action. Kevin Goldstein, of Baseball Prospectus, called it flawless, and here is what a scout friend of mine said:

“His action is raw but hugely impressive. He generates power through body torque, rotation and strength rather than putting huge strain on his elbow. If you were going to teach a Little Leaguer how to gun a fastball then Phil Hughes is a great role model.”




I hope Kyleb can give us his thoughts.

[Matt Williams]

LOL at that display collasping. You gotta hand it to the Yanks. They are doing EVERYTHING to cater to A-Rod so he stays.

[HoyaSaxa123]

Wow, those background designs of the paintings are fabulous. If A-Rod ever actually does turn out to be homosexual, those will be a perfect representation of him.

[onlinebeginner]

JOBA!???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[HoyaSaxa123]

Please onlinebeginner have some common sense. Villone is a lefty, there are lefties coming up. He is easily the better choice than Chamberlain facing lefties.
